Bees are playing really well at the moment and I have watched excellent games against Sheffield Utd and MK Dons. Brentford will just fail on automatic promotion and lose in the play offs at Wembley. They always do.
Someone needs to explain the Marc Bolan worship to me in the UK and the Commonwealth.
